  • "Was a lovely property but was very tired and need of a good deep clean/maintenance."

    Is this not considered before the busy start of the holiday season. I wouldn’t know where to start my list and picture/video evidence of how poor things were which was a shame because it was a lovely place. All I can say at the moment is pet free, dog bed and dog poo garden!!!

  • "No host details are shared with us."

    Only housekeeping details shared and the number and email not reachable. House needs deep cleaning. Folder for property was too detailed. Need to simplify. Beside of these kids love the house during the easter holiday. Quite place.

  • "The Cloakroom ceiling light did not work The moving metal parts to the main entrance door quite stiff Otherwise the property was comfortable and well maintained with a very attractive living area."

    Unfortunately the wet weather meant we could not make use of the garden.

About the location

COLCHESTER

Mersea Island 9 miles; Clacton on Sea 18 miles; London 50 miles.

Colchester is a historic, large town in the region of Essex. It has been named as one of the fastest growing towns and is claimed to be the oldest town in Britain. Colchester is 50 miles northeast of London with good links by road and by rail, being less than 50 minutes from London Liverpool Street station, as well as within easy reach of Stansted Airport and from the passenger ferry port of Harwich. The river Colne runs through the town of Colchester which then leads to Mersea Island, home to the Colchester native oyster. Colchester today is a thriving, modern town with great visitor attractions including Colchester Zoo and Colchester Castle, as well as fantastic places to eat, drink and shop. Poised at the gateway to East Anglia with picturesque villages and only paces away from the coast the Colchester area is the perfect destination for a well-deserved short break or family holiday.
